Dad-in-chief: Obama calms crying baby

He can’t stop the Republicans from whining, but he can quiet a crying baby. Yes, President Obama has proven himself to be a baby whisperer (and his wife is shocked).

Michelle Obama is shocked as her husband magically soothes a fussy baby.

A new video released by the White House shows President Obama grabbing a crying baby from his wife’s arms at a recent meet-and-greet. Cuddled up in the President’s firm grasp, the baby’s cries immediately stop. It’s a magical moment–yet the best part of the video doesn’t happen until the very end when Michelle’s shocked look is met by Obama’s gloating glare.
